Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:23:36 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=7666#comment-62116It appears that the Phillies are scouting Toronto, however the fans and the two main newspapers in Toronto are against trading Bautista. Encarnation is another matter. He would be cheaper than Bautista and becomes a free agent at the end of the season. His hitting has improved a lot since being recalled from the minors and his throwing is also much improved. I can easily see Encarnacion being traded to Philadelphia for a mid level prospect from Single A. Encarnation has been a very solid player this month.

Bautista hit another home run tonight. There is no desire in Toronto to trade him. He has even been asked to take on a team leadership role and help Escobar adapt to Toronto.

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 11:43:19 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=7666#comment-62112Can I just say that I find this format to be less than ideal? I have to read through every player to see if anything has changed. Can we highlight the new information somehow, or maybe just move the guy to the top. I appreciate knowing that Roy Oswalt is the “#1” player on the trade tracker, but if nothing has changed, I don’t need to see his name listed first.

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:08:31 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=7666#comment-62110Uh, no it wasn’t. No players involved in the Lee trade were used to get Halladay. Even the Phillies’ official line is that Lee was dealt to replentish the farm system after dealing everyone away for Halladay. Unofficially, it was to save money. Either way, it was possible to have both of them; it was the Phillies’ decision to tie the two together.

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 13:20:02 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=7666#comment-62108How is Jayson Werth in the middle of a disappointing year? He had an 879 OPS last year, and this year it’s….870. He hasn’t hit as many homers, but he’s made up for it by hitting a shitload of doubles. The ISO is down by .020 but the BA is up by nearly the same.
Disappointing would have been a sub 800 OPS season. This is nearly identical to last year. He’s having a great season.

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:23:01 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=7666#comment-62105That Alexander is a scrapper and a fighter. He’s an innings eater. He’s a leader in the clubhouse and is great for team chemistry. He’ll mentor young arms and be worth a couple of wins with just his never say die attitude.
That Smoltz kid should stick to golf.
The Mets are preparing a four year 40 million dollar offer to Alexander based on advice they got from the Knicks on how to build a successful team in New York.

Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:00:47 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=7666#comment-62102I think the Tigers should trade for Doyle Alexander. They have that kid John Smoltz in their system and I think he is a bust.

Not talking to Cliff Lee showed his ignorance as a GM. All-in-All, Blue Jays got the last laugh. Next we will be hearing he inherited the problems of the 2011 Phillies. As every team in the NL East improved during Spring training, he patted himself on the back. Just plain ignorance!

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:58:53 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=7666#comment-62097I don’t find it sickening, nor am I outraged. But then again, I’m not a Fightins fan. As an outsider, though, I have to admit that I find it astoundingly stupid. Of course, I thought that in December too. And what makes it even more stupid is that the reasoning given at the time is that they weren’t going to be able to pay both Halladay and Lee – yet now, all of a sudden they can pay both Halladay and the more-expensive-than-Lee Oswalt?
